x64base® is the synthesis of three threads that started in 1993:
- Practical engineering — building stable data tools that keep working year after year.
- Teaching — treating file formats and relational thinking as learnable, inspectable systems.
- Historical continuity — respecting the xBase lineage while modernizing it for 64-bit systems.
From the beginning, the aim was transparent computing: you can open the files, understand the structures, and reason about performance and correctness without magic.
By 2026, that mindset becomes a complete ecosystem:
- A canonical 64-bit engine (DBF_64 + FPT64)
- A learning-first scripting language (DotTalk++)
- Focused CLI and front-end tools (TupTalk / TableTalk / RelTalk / ArcticTalk)
- A free non-profit / learning edition (LabTalk)
This website organizes that ecosystem into a stable, readable structure: product pages, documentation, licensing, curriculum, and brand foundations.
